Till how much can u count…

4,5,8,9,10,12,16,20!!!

(HINT-n the correct answer is the no. u choose froom the above…)

This is a kind of ethno-cognitive-kindda thing.

then see a video link i have posted on the web, n it kinds of shows,

How u can know/guess! how a person thinks, its a simple, thing, n u realise this when u not in India or related eastern countries

if ur answer is…, then u might be, thinking like a…

4 – American, African ( n u start with ur index finger, of the LEFT HAND.

5 – don’t know/African – who did not under stand the question, exactly.

9 – Japanese – (start with little finger of the right hand (n count till4) n then they start w/ the  lil finger of the Left hand, n count till 5 on this hand!!!)

10-  english/ european (start w/ index finger n use the other hand, to casp the finger being – counted. 9 n 10 are always the Thumbs!)

12 or 16-Indian (they use the Joints of the Fingures to count upto 3/4 on each finger. Hence 4 anna(one finger) 8 anna(2 fingers. notice its double SIZE, n 1 finger more n also  50 paisa is still called 8 anna in a lot of place in India still, even though its over 40 yrs since the annas stopped.

another reason why INDIANS only count up to 16, might be the way Hindus worship,  mantra-jaap, not all Hindus use beads to tally the no. of times they have recieted the mantra. usually in hindus the number is 108 or 1008 (some  BINARY thing!)

20-South Indian ( same as above, but there some how manage to!)

All the above statements/representation made, are true, to the best of my knowdlege n percetions,

I have done/still on… an experiment on a lot of travellers, who i bump, into. Randomly.

but by the end of it BOTH of US are WISER.

n a simple smile is the reward.

.-]

ps. its’ a thing i haave noticed for a long time, while travelling around the continents.
n I “realised” that WE the Indians are the only ones who can count up to 20 on their hands,
ask an american n he will take off His SHOES ;-]]]
